Kyogre (Japanese: カイオーガ Kaiorga) is a Water-type Legendary Pokémon.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it can undergo Primal Reversion and become Primal Kyogre if it holds the Blue Orb.

Kyogre possesses the ability to expand the oceans. In ancient times, it came into conflict with Groudon, a Pokémon with the ability to expand continents. In Pokémon Sapphire, Emerald, and Alpha Sapphire, Kyogre is sought after by Team Aqua as part of their plot to create more habitats for aquatic Pokémon by raising the sea level.

Kyogre is the version mascot of Pokémon Sapphire and its remake Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, appearing on the boxart of both.

Along with Groudon and Rayquaza, Kyogre is a part of the weather trio.

Biology

Kyogre is a massive whale-like Pokémon with two big pectoral fins, each with four white square-shaped nails. It has a deep blue body and a white chin area with two small spikes protruding under it. Above each eye are two white, oval-shaped spots. It has red stripes around its chin, eyes, dorsal fins, and torso. These stripes glow when Kyogre is brimming with power. The tail is tattered with four trailing parts, the inner ones being smaller than the outer. Its eyes are small, yellow, and shadowed with black.

Primal Kyogre is similar to Kyogre, but it grows to more than twice its usual size. Its skin color changes to a darker shade of blue. The four trailing parts of its tail are considerably longer and flat at the ends, and each have half-translucent webbing down the middle. Its forehead now has the α symbol, which is connected to the two large oval-shaped spots and tail, and light blue α symbols are seen on each pectoral fin, connecting to the outer nails with a red marking connecting to the inner nails. The red stripes adorning its body become light blue. There are two yellow shaped symbols inside the oval-shaped spots. The white parts of Kyogre's body, as well as the areas between the markings on the pectoral fins, become half-translucent. A mysterious golden light glows from within Primal Kyogre's body. In the anime, Primal Kyogre is said to has created and widened the seas by a large margin simply by taking a swim.

Kyogre is said to be a powerful Pokémon, having control over the element of water and rain to have quenched areas of the world plagued with drought and to have expanded the seas. Kyogre is normally calm and peaceful, but if it meets its rival, Groudon, Kyogre will engage in a cataclysmic battle against it. In the Mystery Dungeon series and core series, Kyogre is able to fly. Kyogre generally lives deep in the ocean, and is said to rest in a deep trench. Kyogre is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Origin Pulse.

Major appearances

Kyogre's first anime appearance was in Gaining Groudon. Team Magma had captured Kyogre but didn't have the correct orb to control it. Team Magma planned to make a trade with Team Aqua, who had captured Groudon. The trade was about to be made when Archie decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. The battle between Kyogre and Groudon occurred during the following episode, The Scuffle of Legends.

Kyogre appeared in the movie Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. It had appeared along with countless other Water Pokémon when Ash replaced all of the Sea Crown's crystals. However, when The Phantom attempted to make all the Water types panic using supersonic waves from his ship, Kyogre too was part of the ensuing commotion. Manaphy calmed them down using Heart Swap to rid the Pokémon of their confusion, and some Wailord broke open The Phantom's ship, followed by some Chinchou swimming into the opening and short-circuiting the ship. Kyogre then used Hyper Beam on the ship, destroying it.

A Primal Kyogre appeared in SS032, where it went on a rampage and battled with Primal Groudon. It also fought Steven's Mega Metagross, and was almost defeated by it until Metagross was defeated by Mega Rayquaza.

A Primal Kyogre is set to appear the eighteenth movie.

Minor appearances

Kyogre made its debut in the opening of Jirachi: Wish Maker.

Kyogre makes a cameo in the introduction of Destiny Deoxys, The Rise of Darkrai, Giratina and the Sky Warrior, and Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Kyogre appeared in Saving Kyogre, The Lord Of The Ocean Depths!.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Kyogre's first appearance was in The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon I. It was awakened by Team Aqua so the waters will be expanded. Wattson, Flannery, and Winona tried to stop it but failed due to Team Aqua's interference, and it ended up reaching Sootopolis City, where it fought for days on end with Groudon. Ruby, having trapped Sapphire in Wallace's air car for her safety, was joined by a reformed Courtney and succeeded in quelling both the titans using the Red and Blue Orbs and Norman's temporary control over Rayquaza. However, even after Kyogre returned to the Seafloor Cavern, Archie and Maxie still had plans of reawakening them to kill off anyone who'd oppose their will using the two orbs. Once they were thwarted, the arc ended.

In the Emerald arc, Guile Hideout succeeded in having Jirachi create a Kyogre monster that nearly sank the entire Battle Frontier.

Origin

Kyogre is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of Leviathan, the unconquerable primal master of the sea. Its counterparts were Behemoth and Ziz. Just as Kyogre is in conflict with Groudon, it was said that at the end of time Leviathan and Behemoth would start a battle that would kill them both. The Hebrew word for Leviathan is now used for whales in modern Hebrew, which may be why Kyogre's appearance also draws inspiration from whales, especially the orca.

Name origin

Kyogre and Kaiorga may be a combination of 海 kai (ocean) and orca (a species described as a whale, but is more closely related to dolphins). Notably, it may also involve 海王 kaiō (king of the sea), which are the first two characters in 海王星 Kaiōsei (Neptune). It may also be derived from eygre, a tidal phenomenon.
